Definitions
- the present invention concerns a highly flame retardant polybutylene succinate (PBS) compound using non-halogenated ingredients for use in applications having stringent requirements for flammability, heat release, smoke and toxicity.
- PBS polybutylene succinate
- thermoplastic compounds unlike wood, metal, or glass, do not rot, rust, or shatter. For that reason, the world in the past seventy years has seen a revolution in material science arising from the combination of a thermoplastic resin and one or more functional additives to provide specific properties to the resin.
- thermoplastic resin can melt. Its processing versatility benefits from its capacity to mix with the functional additives while in a molten state.
- thermoplastic articles in use, the exposure of a fully formed thermoplastic article to excessive heat or flame can be quite detrimental to property and person. Flame retardancy is a key attribute for many household items, for example hair dryers, curtains and drapes, water heaters and kitchen appliances.
- materials that are non-flammable and non-combustible are critical for many applications in industries, such as electronics, telecommunications, and transportation. Therefore, flame retardants, drip suppressants, mineral fillers, and char formers are frequently added as functional additives to help thermoplastic compounds retard the effects of heat or flame from melting or even burning.
- non-halogenated flame retardants have become popular because they minimize the release of halogenated chemicals if the plastic article would begin to degrade, melt, or burn.
- Polymers having non-halogenated flame retardants are particularly useful for enclosed areas, such as aircraft cabins, submarines, ships, subways and high rise buildings.
- polymer blends using non-halogenated flame retardants are often more difficult to process and have reduced physical and mechanical properties when compared to the original thermoplastic resin.
- the present invention has found a highly flame retardant polybutylene succinate (PBS) compound using a non-halogenated intumescent flame retardant system.

- Ammonium polyphosphates are inorganic salts that are produced from the reaction of polyphosphoric acid and ammonia and has the chemical formula [NH 4 P03] n .
- Ammonium polyphosphates can be used as an intumescent flame retardant (FR) system. When exposed to heat or fire, ammonium polyphosphate will begin to decompose back to ammonia and phosphoric acid.
- the phosphoric acid acts as a catalyst in the dehydration of carbon-based poly- alcohols. The phosphoric acid reacts with such alcohol groups to form phosphate esters, which further decompose to release carbon dioxide.
- the release of non-flammable carbon dioxide, as well as nitrogen further degraded from ammonia and water reduces the amount of available oxygen to the material that is burning.
- halogen-based systems would result in the release of gases that contained halogens into the
- Ammonium polyphosphates are commercially available from several manufactures, including JLS Chemicals which offers JLS PNP1C, JLS
- the flame retardant system can contain more than one type of ammonium polyphosphate.

- Cone calorimetry The cone calorimeter was used to measure the heat release and smoke release of these formulations, according to ASTM E1354-13. A square sample of 100cm x 100cm was placed horizontally 25mm below the radiant heat source, the cone. The heat flux used was 65 kW/m 2 . Upon exposure to the cone, a spark igniter was placed above the surface of the sample and the time to ignition is recorded. The time to flameout was also manually recorded, while the instrumentation measures the consumption of oxygen from the sample stream as well as the production of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. A laser placed across the exhaust duct measured the obstruction of the beam by the combustion products to output smoke measurements.
